This mini series covers 60 years in the lives of the Cleary family, brought from New Zealand to Australia to run their aunt Mary Carson's ranch. The story centers on their daughter, Meggie, and her love for the family's priest, Father Ralph de Bricassart. Meggie tries to forget Ralph by marrying dashing stockman Luke O'Neill, but she and Ralph are soon reunited, with tragic consequences for them both.

if I recall this is very long mini-series and I bet the children are in only a small portion of it. So it is not too surprising it wasn't released. However it has been since it was first aired that I saw it and cannot say/remember for sure?

But if someone wants to check it out and or release the entire series is posted by a few different people on torrent and well seeded.

It is another of the on -the-fence ones I was talking about in another thread. The children (more to the point - one girl) is active only in the first episode, but it is a life changing event for both her and the priest.
